چکیده

The Spring system is a distributed operating system that supports a distributed, object-oriented application framework. Each individual Spring system is based around a microkernel known as the nucleus, which is structured to support fast cross-address-space object invocations. This paper discusses the deign rationale for the nucleus’ IPC facilities and how they fit into the overall Spring programming model. We then describe how the internal structure of the nucleus is organized to support fast cross-address-space calls, including some specific details and performance information on the current implementation. email addresses: graham [email protected] [email protected] A Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Soul: An Object-Oriented OS Framework for Object Support

Soul is an object-oriented framework for object support, on which speciic object-support operating systems (called \subsystems") such as SOS, Comandos, or Cool, can be built and coexist. The Soul framework comprises a Nucleus (object-oriented microkernel), and a Generic Run-Time (GRT, an object-oriented toolkit of object-management object types and classes). A new subsystem is built by reusing,...
